Finally got a cool project to do.
Have to get all the dvds from Amazon UK site and store all the results into a database.
Since Amazon has an amazing API built now all I had to do was get a PHP/SOAP Class they recommended here. Hardest part was getting all the Node(Categories) .
Now all the script does is looks at the list of categories which is in a separate array, finds out how many pages of dvds for each category there are, then loops through each page dumping the information into the database. Which obviously takes forever seeing that the 1st category has over 2000 titles alone. If you guys want to check out the code, let me know!

Nice, man. I wouldn’t understand your script, but it would be interesting to look at. This is cool – and a nice resume booster!
I like Amazon’s web services. Obviously working for a book publisher this is important to us. They’re really good at getting out info on tapping into their systems. I recently built a Flash module using Remoting with a Coldfusion component (I didn’t write the CF)to display an updated list of 10 top titles.
Some of our developers here use that very web site Rob. Including me!
